I wrote this song last week and I can't think of a name for it. The hardest part for me is naming shit. It's basically from a boyfriends point of view. Girlfriend has gotten sober and wants him to do the same. He (me) of course is unwilling to do so. It's got kind of a reggae/funk feeling to it... So now you know what its like to be sober Now you know what its like to be alive They told you that you've got to go Because there aint no use livin a lie Now youre happy to explain What I do that makes me insane You said stop now or youre going to die But just because youre all better doesn't mean its my turn to cry And now you feel like you gotta save something Just in the way somebody saved you But do you know all this giving and recieving Doesn't mean you gotta make me do something I don't wanna do Yeah you took your life and wiped the shadows away <-- (im not sure about that line) Doesn't mean I have to share it with ya babe You took 12 steps id rather take 12 drags You go read a book ill go score some bags You want me to be just like you But if you really gave a damn about me you wouldn't make me choose Life or love? Now your flag is flyin half staff You sit there and cry and I just have to laugh You keep pickin pickin pickin oh scratchin at those old scars All I can do is sit and play my guitar Yeah you did well and im happy to say I only wish that I could share it with ya babe It might not be the best but I can always work out the kinks when I'm not so lazy. What do you think GC?
I went through a similar situation with a girlfriend that quit smoking and then started raggin' on me when I smoked. As for the song, I'd name it Sober Cunt Bitch Makes Me Wanna Cut Myself. Or something along those lines. kiddin' of course.
